Maple Mustard Grilled Chicken with Asian Slaw
May 15, 2013
It’s finally, officially, really and truly grilling season!! I couldn’t be happier because there’s just nothing like grilling up some dinner, sitting on the deck, eating and enjoying a great evening.
Here’s an easy and delicious recipe for you to add to your grilling repertoire and one I’ll definitely be making again and again. I love the sweet and spicy flavors of maple and mustard and incorporating spicy brown mustard just sends this one over the top. I served it alongside an Asian slaw for a light and healthy grilled dinner!
Ingredients:
Chicken
1/3 cup spicy brown mustard
Slaw
Nutrition:
Slaw
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons lower-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp minced ginger
1 package boneless skinless chicken – I used thighs because I had them on hand, but breasts would work great, too!
Slaw
2 T honey
2 T Rice Wine Vinegar
1 ½ tsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1 ½ tsp sesame oil
1 ½ tsp creamy peanut butter
½ tsp chili garlic sauce or hot sauce like Siracha
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp minced garlic
1 bag coleslaw mix
½ cup thawed edamame, shelled
½ cup bell pepper (any color is fine)
Preparation:
-
Combine first 9 ingredients for chicken into a bowl or jar. Place the chicken in a zipper bag and then pour half of the mixture on top of the chicken and mix to make sure that the chicken is all nice and cozy in the marinade; marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. Reserve the remaining mixture to serve with chicken.
-
In the meantime, make your slaw by combining the first 8 slaw ingredients in a small bowl. Pour the mix over the vegetables, cover and refrigerate. Toss before serving.
-
When you’re ready to cook the chicken, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the bagged marinade. Spray the grill with nonstick spray and grill approximately 7 – 8 minutes on each side or until no longer pink.
-
Serve with reserved mustard mixture and slaw.
-
The sauce is AH-MAZING!
